LoadXml method not supported in IE 9.

Question

Hi all ,

In my case we get the data from aspx page in XML form . We are using XMLHttprequest to get the data . When response is ready , we create XML document like 

function CreateXMLDocument(rootTagName, namespaceURL)

{

alert(rootTagName);

alert(namespaceURL);

if (!rootTagName) rootTagName = "";

if (!namespaceURL) namespaceURL = "";

if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument) {

// This is the W3C standard way to do it

return document.implementation.createDocument(namespaceURL, rootTagName, null);

}

else { // This is the IE way to do it

// Create an empty document as an ActiveX object

// If there is no root element, this is all we have to do

var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");

// If there is a root tag, initialize the document

if (rootTagName) {

// Look for a namespace prefix

var prefix = "";

var tagname = rootTagName;

var p = rootTagName.indexOf(':');

if (p != -1) {

prefix = rootTagName.substring(0, p);

tagname = rootTagName.substring(p+1);

}

// If we have a namespace, we must have a namespace prefix

// If we don't have a namespace, we discard any prefix

if (namespaceURL) {

if (!prefix) prefix = "a0"; // What Firefox uses

}

else prefix = "";

// Create the root element (with optional namespace) as a

// string of text

var text = "<" + (prefix?(prefix+":"):"") + tagname +

(namespaceURL

?(

" xmlns:" + prefix + '="' + namespaceURL +'"')

:

"") +

"/>";

// And parse that text into the empty document

doc.loadXML(text);

}

alert(text);

return doc;

}

} and then we use objxmlDoc.LoadXML() . But it gives an error in IE 9 saying method not supported. Can someone please help with this?

Hi, you can use C# to create XML file, please refer to the following example:
